Friday 14 September at Merry Muse

Duncan
Smith.
Catherine Fraser is a fiddler of
Scots descent and classical training. She has a knack for composing and
interpreting slow airs.
Add to Catherine's sweet and true
fiddle playing Duncan Smith's rock solid piano accompaniment on reels and jigs
and you have a powerful team. They pour out strathspey and hornpipes, old reels
and new. Together they will take you on a memorable journey through time and
around the globe exploring everything from ancient traditional tunes to
contemporary and original works, from foot stomping reels to the most haunting
of Gaelic airs.

--ooOOoo-- BRAIN TEASER ANSWER
--ooOOoo--
Baseball Mystery
How can you throw a ball as hard as
you can and have it come back to you, even
if it doesn't hit anything, there
is nothing attached to it, and no one else
catches or throws it?
Answer: Throw it up in the air
Correspondence Entered Into:
Careless Driver?
A girl who was learning to drive
went down a one-way street the wrong
way, but
she didn't break the law. Why not?
The Official Answer: She was
walking on the footpath
Readers' Alternative Answer: She
was practicing reversing.
Further follow-up from faithful
followers:
Won't do! A car reversing down a one-way street would
be going the wrong way.
I'm reminded of a story, which
dates back more than two thousand years: Two
people who can't agree come before
a judge. First the judge listens to the
plaintiff and says "You're
right." Next the judge listens to the defendant and
says "You're right." At
this point the court clerk interrupts and says "Your
honor, they can't both be
right," to which the judge replies, "You're right
too."
Well done all.
